Soros 

Soros follows one of the most influential and controversial figures of our time as he fights against the rising tide of authoritarianism around the world.

George Soros is founder and chair of Soros Fund Management LLC and the Open Society Foundations. Born in Budapest in 1930, Soros survived the Nazi occupation during World War II and fled communist-dominated Hungary in 1947 for England, where he graduated from the London School of Economics. He then settled in the United States, where he accumulated a large fortune through the international investment fund he founded and managed.

Soros has been active as a philanthropist since 1979, when he began providing funds to help black students attend Cape Town University in apartheid South Africa. The Open Society Foundations today support individuals and organizations in more than 120 countries, with an annual budget of more than one billion dollars, working to promote the values of open society, human rights, and transparency. Soros writes regularly on politics, society, and economics, and has authored over a dozen books.
